Idee, 6/11/04

Idée d’jour

If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
— Luther Burbank, horticulturist (1849-1926)
Ironically, I believe this is the person for whom Burbank, CA is named. Regardless of this bit of trivia, this statement is even more frighteningly true than it was when he made it.
